From my first appointment, through cataract surgery, and beyond, I was reassured by the professional and caring staff.

Darrow Jackson

As a primary care physician, I often refer patients to subspecialists. For the past 2 decades, I have referred patients with cataracts to Dr. Minotty. The outcomes and patient satisfaction have been consistently excellent. When I discovered that I had a cataract myself, the choice was easy. I went to the experienced, professional and talented Dr. Minotty. Now I know firsthand the excellent care that my patients receive at New Vision Eye Center.

I can describe my cataract surgery in on word: miracle. I have worn glasses or contacts for severe nearsightedness since I was 7 years old, and for astigmatism in more recent years. I now enjoy 20/20 eyesight. I can even see up close (computer, food labels, phone contacts) without the constant need for reading glasses. Thank you Dr. Tate for my new vision! You have changed my life more than I could ever have imagined.

Dr. Tate showed me a video of the LenSx laser for cataract surgery compared to the traditional blade method. I chose the LenSx laser - it was a no brainer. This was an excellent decision as it was precisely accurate, computer-generated, painless, and quick. The results are outstanding!

Dr. Minotty operated on my right eye in 1996 and my left eye four years later. There was never any pain or discomfort. I was delighted to have amazingly clear vision by the afternoon.

Thank you Dr. Minotty.
